Chapter 119 The official uncle has a dark cloud over his head

In the end, there were a total of 62 vehicles that entered the capital, two of which were used to pull back and forth supplies for a group of people. There were 82 people in total, including the driver, officials, and guards chosen by the village. The lineup was huge, and it would be a problem to eat without supplies.

Before going out, Grandpa Yan and Grandma Yan were still a little worried. After all, they had never done such a big thing before, and they still felt uneasy. The couple kept watching to watch everyone finish their meal.

After taking Fu Bao out and circling the motorcade, Grandma Yan asked Fu Bao again and again, and she was still annoyed: Are there any dark clouds above our heads? Are there any dark clouds on the carriage? Are there any dark clouds over the horse's head?

"No, no, none of that. There were no dark clouds in the car right away. It's just that the official uncle had a little black on his forehead. Was he disobedient like the third brother and was playing with his ink sticks?"

Fu Bao felt that her grandma was verbose and tired of repeating the same words, but she finally pointed her chubby little finger at one of the forty-year-old official servants.

It was impossible for the boss to play tricks on Mo. He had no doubt at all. Grandpa Yan found Zi Mo and just told him that the official looked not in good condition. Could he be sick? Let Zimo see if he can adjust it.

Zimo walked up and asked the officer a few words. He was in good health and looked strong. He patted his chest and said he was fine, so Zimo couldn't find any reason to ask him to stay.

Zimo wondered: How did this old man see that someone was in a bad state? Isn't it something you read in a miscellaneous book again? Scholars are really troublesome, taking everything they talk about seriously.

But since he was the master, he also paid some attention and specially arranged for the officer to guard the car in front of him, so that if anything happened, he would be able to take care of it.

After delivering the charcoal this time, Grandpa Yan also asked the village chief and clan elders to spread the news that there would indeed be a severe cold this year.

Now everyone in the village believes this statement, because the severe drought has come true. If it hadn't been snowing this year, all the Yan family's charcoal would have been collected by the nobles in the capital. How could the nobles be so stupid?

Yan Yongyi saw that the firewood in the old house was still piled full, and it could at least burn charcoal for a month. In addition, the firewood brought by the villagers was getting smaller and smaller, some were still bent, and some were dry and cracked. It looked very bad. It is difficult to burn good charcoal.

They simply announced that they would no longer collect them. At the same time, they also announced that they would stop purchasing medicinal herbs, because if the whole village continues to do this, there may really be no grass growing on the mountain in the future.

However, the village chief still repeatedly requested that each household must collect enough firewood for their own use.

Therefore, if there is still some space in the house to load firewood, and it is not the turn of the people to be arranged to be on duty, they will still continue to go to the mountains to chop firewood, but they will not go out with all the people.

In fact, most people have plenty of firewood. When they sell good firewood to the Yan family, some that do not meet the requirements and are not accepted by the Yan family usually take it home.

Even the Yao family, who are usually the laziest, have built a pile of firewood in the compound through the efforts of the three Yao bosses. No matter how lazy they are, they don't want to freeze to death or starve to death. The Yao family is completely ruined. If they don't work, there is really nothing. eat.

People who have enough food and firewood and a little extra money have gritted their teeth some time ago and still prepared all the cotton-padded clothes and quilts they should add. Those who don't have enough money will also add some cotton to the old quilts and old cotton-padded clothes. , don’t even intend to lose yourself.

By the end, except for the young adults who participated in the village's security guard, the whole village had basically entered a cat-winter state, and the weather was getting colder and colder. Fu Bao had already put on the big red flower jacket made for her by her mother.

There were no accidents on this trip to the capital. Everyone went smoothly for two days. However, when we were about to return to Qingliu County, for some reason, the carriage of the official officer Fubao pointed to was broken. Fortunately, the car was empty on the way back and the car was not going very fast. Zimo deliberately sat with him. When he heard the sound of breaking, he immediately jumped up and gave him a lift. Otherwise, he would have fallen off and been run over by the car, and the consequences would have been disastrous. In the end He just fell down and squatted, and his pants were not torn.

Afterwards, the official happily said that he was lucky to be sitting next to Zimo.

This incident frightened Zimo into a cold sweat, and he thought to himself: Isn't this old man Yan's mouth too poisonous? Don't take his words as a joke in the future.

The biggest gainers from this trip were Yan Yongli and Fubao.

Dalang knew that they were coming, so he specifically asked the junior official in charge of him to come out to meet him at the city gate. He also stuffed his father with twenty taels of silver, saying that it was a reward from Prince Chun, but Yan Yongli did not ask for his silver and told him to save it himself. I didn't want to be too frugal, and I told him about the situation at home.

Dalang was also very happy to know that he had land and a house under his name. He asked his father to bring back three small swords he had whittled down for Fubao and Sanlang to play with, and one was said to be a gold ingot.

Also brought back with me were three identical rattles for my three unborn brothers.

Dalang also said that Prince Chun sent him to the military camp for training, and he was able to eat well and see that his tendons had grown a lot, which reassured his mother.

Although the New Year is still more than a month away, Prince Chun and Brother Jue both gave them New Year gifts respectively, saying that they were afraid that they might not be able to give them out by then.

Most of the large cart sent by Brother Jue is Fubao's stuff. In addition to food, there are also many useful items and New Year's items.

A bright red satin floral jacket with two cute little magpies embroidered on the front. It looks like it was worn by Fu Bao during the Chinese New Year. It also comes with a matching red cotton hat and cotton shoes. It will definitely be very festive to wear during the Chinese New Year.

Everyone in the Yan family also had a gift. Grandma Yan’s was a blond hairpin, and Grandpa Yan’s was a pair of black jade paperweights. Each of the three unborn brothers also had two sets of small paperweights. clothing.

"It's hard for a half-year-old child to be so dedicated." Grandma Yan remembered that the child's eyes were a little wet, so she couldn't help but wipe the corners of her eyes. I don’t know how he is doing after all this time? Zimo always reported good things but not bad things, and he didn't know the real situation.

Prince Chun came back with a message. If there is any charcoal or grain in the future, feel free to bring it to him. If the current situation is not good and it is difficult to send it, ask Zimo to send a message to him, and he will send soldiers to respond.

After getting 50,000 gold coins from this trip to the capital, Fubao felt that she had made a lot of money, and she felt that the things she took out were not a pity at all. With so many gold coins, she could only buy more things than Dada.

The well in the village can still produce water, but the amount of water is getting less and less. Fortunately, the weather is cold now and everyone is in winter. The water used is relatively small, and everyone consciously saves it, but there is no need to go up the mountain to fetch water.

This is mainly due to the village chief's word of mouth to everyone, that is, to keep the sweet potatoes on the mountain for a while, and then dig them when the sweet potato vines are dry. The yield will naturally be higher, and who can do it without any harm? Everyone is willing to listen. If we don’t save some water from the mountains, it means we have to dig sweet potatoes in advance. No one wants to do that.

The Yan family spoke with the same voice to the outside world, and they all followed what Grandma Yan said: the water in their own wells was getting less and less.

Moreover, Uncle Liu also went to the well outside to pick up two loads of water every day and showed it to the people in the village, so no one suspected it.

In fact, with Fubao at home, water can still be guaranteed to be sufficient, but Fubao will not dump too much water into the well at once. At least it seems normal to people, and they all think that the well originally dug is enough. Deep and big enough, or there is a spring below that is inexhaustible.
